A Thousand and One Thoughts


Why do you act like this?

Why can't you be good?

Why can't you be more like them?

Why don't you go out and play?

Why don't you see your friends?

Why do you sit in your room all day?

Why do you keep skipping school?

Why can't you act normal?

Why can't you be happy?

Why can't you be happy?

WHY CAN'T YOU BE HAPPY?

 

Please-

Just leave me alone.
